Here's how fiberglass molds are made when nobody's watching.
When working with composites, sometimes you can't avoid making a fiberglass mold for an intermediate step. In the case of these sideskirts, I knew that dealing with the plastic ones was just going to cause me more stress in the long run and so in this video I make a single-use mold of the sideskirts so that I can make a set of fiberglass plugs.
